River Vista sites are so close together they reminded us of a parking lot. Won't go back there.

Black Rock Mountain State Park sites are too short to accommodate the length of your mh. The road up there is serpentine and steep in places. Beautiful view at the top and certainly worth a day trip.

Tallulah Gorge State Park has some sites that will hold your rig. The cg is run by Georgia Power. Give them a call and check on sites available for your rig 706-754-7979.

In looking at the websites, I too got the impression that River Vista was sort of packed in close together.
For Franklin RV park, are the access and internal roads reasonably navigable with a big rig towing ? Thanks !

We had no problem at Franklin when we had the travel trailer and full length pickup which was 47 feet total. The nice part about Franklin is it is close enough to the state lines that you can enjoy both Mountain City/Dillard/Clayton GA and Franklin, NC.

Franklin has the Scottish Tartans Museum and just west of there is the John C. Campbell Folk School.

There's a number of great day trips within a short distance of Franklin, including water falls, hikes etc. We enjoyed our time there.

We enjoyed our stay at River Vista and did not find the sites to be very close. This is a membership park that rents sites to non-members and we found the resort to be very clean and well managed.

RE: River Vista, if you check out the long pull thru sites, you'll see that there is more than sufficient space between sites and they are plenty long. The Great Outdoors, which I assume you are referring to in Franklin has no pull-thru sites as I recall. Most of the pictures of River Vista are of the non pull thru section---they are closer together.

Tallulah Gorge State Park

Black Rock Mountain State park has a 25 foot RV limit. Anyone who has driven the road to the the park will readily understand this limit.

Just to let you know, it is a very steep road up Black Rock Mtn to the campground.

Check into Black Top Mountain State Park. Is a step road up, but if I remember correctly, some of the first sites in the facility, are for larger camper/motor homes. And it is a beautiful campground, with scenic overview decks, hiking trails, and a hiking trail around a fishing lake.

We are thinking of going up around Dillard Ga. in late Sept.
We have a 43' MH and pull a pickup truck so we are looking for a big rig friendly park.
Looking on the web, I see River Vista and Franklin RV Park as potential candidates.
Any first hand experience with either ? Thanks !

River Vista has always been a nice park....
